“WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration is preparing to withhold tens of millions of dollars from the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees, cutting the year’s first contribution by more than half or perhaps entirely, and making additional donations contingent on major changes to the organization, according to U.S. officials.
President Donald Trump hasn’t made a final decision, but appears more likely to send only $60 million of the planned $125 million first installment to the U.N. Relief and Works Agency, said the officials, who weren’t authorized to publicly discuss the matter and spoke on condition of anonymity.

Future contributions would require the agency, facing heavy Israeli criticism, to demonstrate significant changes in operations, they said, adding that one suggestion under consideration would require the Palestinians to first re-enter peace talks with Israel.”*

i can tell this is a hot topic. since the right wing wants to act on isreals sovereignty. lets just give them Idaho. i mean we have a few states not pullin its weight (Red neck states). The president wants to give land away. lets start with our fly over states. before you stupid fucks ( Trump supporters) try to reply. learn political HUMOR.

You guys keep saying the "right-wing" of Israel as if to say the left-wing is any better. Just watch your own Jimmy Dore's interview of Abby Martin and see that the whole of Israel is basically a terrorist state. TYT has become more and more mainstream since the election and pretty much on the path to be an establishment entity. Can't wait to see Jimmy Dore just lose it one day and leave!
